Where to Find Alpha Minespine
Collect 120 Lumin Ambers and Infuse the Branch
Alpha Minespine must first be unlocked by collecting 120 Lumin Ambers and offering them at the Breezy Plains Branch. After infusion, the Earthquake Revelation occurs, revealing previously hidden locations across the map.

How to Beat Alpha Minespine
[1] Stick to its sides and be aggressive.
Most of its attacks are frontal, making them easy to avoid just by staying to its sides or behind it. Stay close to the boss during its Seismic Wave attack, as the waves tend to overlap when farther from the impact point, making them harder to dodge.
[2] Dig up the Alpha Aniimo when it decides to burrow!
When Alpha Minespine burrows underground, it becomes invulnerable while releasing a series of shock waves. Using a skill like Susuta's Water Dash knocks it back to the surface, leaving it vulnerable to BREAK-type skills.
